Hi All,
Been some lovely discussions of late - glad to be a spectator!
Now I have a general query.
I have a subnet I wish to masquerade behind one host, and am in the process
of installing a new firewall.
What disadvantage do I have by using one machine with 3 NIC's. One to DMZ
(Web servers, External Email Servers), one to Router to internet, and the
last masquerading my internal network.
My other thought was to have this configuration (without the masqeuraded
NIC) , and have another tightly configured machine on the internal network
do the masquerading.
The number of users on the LAN is low (~100), and I am also looking at a VPN
to another office.
I cannot justify any of the 'production firewalls' that are often discussed
on this list, and will build my own.
Any thoughts muchly appreciated,
Greg Bastian
